Carlos Quentin has cortisone shot
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:26 pm ET) Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin had a cortisone injection in his left knee Wednesday and hopes to be ready Friday for the Diamondbacks, according to MLB.com. Quentin missed his second game in a row Wednesday, against the Cardinals, after he injured the knee Monday sliding into a base.  

Clayton Richard working on arm slot
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:23 pm ET) The Padres have taken Clayton Richard's disabled list stint as an opportunity to get him to work on his mechanics. Richard, who has been out since May 5 with an intestinal virus, has been working on pitching out of a higher arm slot in his two rehab starts, with the intention of getting more sink on the ball.

"Lots of ground-ball outs yesterday, and he held his velocity into the seventh inning," manager Bud Black told MLB.com. "Our reports from the Triple-A staff and from [assistant general manager] A.J. Hinch, who was there, was that the arm slot looked a bit higher than what we saw through April and the early part of May. So that's a good thing."

The fact that Richard is not dealing with a structural issue gives the team the opportunity to work on some issues at Triple-A Tucson before activating him. Richard is 0-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 12 innings on his rehab assignment, after having an 8.54 ERA in six major-league starts.

Richard is expected to join the team Wednesday in San Diego, but it is not clear whether he is set to be activated from the DL. 


Loss follows Hiroki Kuroda's injury
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:19 pm ET) Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda, who left the game with a calf injury and is questionable for his next start, took the loss in the 6-3 defeat in Baltimore. 

Kuroda (6-3), who has a 2.67 ERA, was losing 3-1 when he left in the third.


Jason Hammel with best outing to date
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:17 pm ET) Orioles starter Jason Hammel appeared to finally figure out his command issues at home Wednesday against the Yankees after back-to-back poor starts in which he gave up 13 runs over a span of 8 2/3 innings.

Hammel (6-2) allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks, while striking out six, to get the win Wednesday. He threw 109 pitches and was removed with two outs in the seventh inning with the only Yankees' player to do anything against him coming up. Curtis Granderson was 3 for 3 with a homer for the Yankees with Hammel in the game, so manager Buck Showalter removed him just before Granderson's fourth at-bat.

Hammel, who's ERA is 5.37, will make his next scheduled start Monday at Washington.


Jeff Karstens' plans possibly changing
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:12 pm ET) Pirates starting pitcher Jeff Karstens was scheduled to make his third rehab start for Double-A Altoona Thursday, but his name was removed from the schedule Wednesday afternoon, according to MLB.com. It is not clear when or where Karstens' next rehab start will happen.

Karstens last pitched Saturday in Altoona, throwing 60 pitches as he recovers from right shoulder inflammation. 


Michael Cuddyer expected back Friday
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:05 pm ET) The Rockies appeared to clear space on the active roster for Michael Cuddyer's activation from the disabled list Wednesday, as they optioned infielder Josh Rutledge to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Cuddyer is recovering from an inflamed disk in his neck but should be in the starting lineup Friday against the Giants. 


Mark Trumbo has three-hit night
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:01 pm ET) Angels first baseman Mark Trumbo led the team in hits with three Wednesday during a 7-1 win over the Mariners. 

Trumbo doubled and singled twice as he went 3 for 4 with a run scored. He's batting .280. 

The 27-year-old Trumbo has hit in seven-straight games with five doubles, a homer and two RBI over that span. He has 10 homers, 29 RBI and 25 runs scored on the year. 


Erick Aybar has RBI single
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(9:59 pm ET) Angels shortstop Erick Aybar played through right knee soreness Wednesday against the Mariners in a 7-1 win at Anaheim. He went 1 for 3.

Aybar, who is hitting .260, had an RBI single in the third inning and added a walk. He was also thrown out attempting to steal second.


Brandon Maurer roughed up in Anaheim
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(9:56 pm ET) Mariners starter Brandon Maurer trailed 5-0 after the first inning Wednesday in Anaheim against the suddenly red-hot Angels. He didn't allow a home run but surrendered seven earned runs on 11 hits and two walks in three innings. He was replaced after 74 pitches. Maurer (2-6) struck out two in the loss, and he has a 6.80 ERA.

Maurer has lost three consecutive decisions in his last four outings and has allowed at least three runs in each of those starts. He's yet to go deeper than 6 2/3 in any start. Maurer is scheduled to start Tuesday against San Diego if the Mariners.

C.J. Wilson Ks 10 in eight innings
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(9:55 pm ET) Angels starter C.J. Wilson struck out 10 in eight innings to get the win Wednesday at home against the Mariners.

Wilson (4-3), who has a 3.39 ERA, allowed a run on a Michael Saunders ground out in the eighth inning of the 7-1 victory. He gave up six hits and walked two in 109 pitches.

The 32-year-old had lost his previous three starts, although he hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any outing since giving up four on April 9. He's allowed more than three runs once.

Wilson is scheduled to start Monday in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.
